Startup AIUC raises $40M to audit and certify AI safety for enterprises amid rising AI risks

AIUC, a startup founded by Rune Kvist and Rajiv Dattani, has raised $40 million in Series A funding to develop a third-party audit and certification system for AI safety in enterprises. The company created AIUC-1, a standard inspired by cybersecurity practices like SOC 2, to test AI agents against risks such as jailbreaks, hallucinations, and data leaks. AIUC's approach involves running thousands of tests on AI agents and producing detailed safety reports, helping organizations ensure their AI systems meet safety commitments. This initiative addresses growing concerns about AI control and reliability as AI technology rapidly advances, aiming to prevent rogue AI behavior in critical sectors like banking and healthcare.

The AIUC startup's efforts on AI safety certification come as a backdrop to the Technology sector's market activity on Pluang.
